It's very sad. Unsurprisingly they are saying he did this because his girlfriend dumped him. :(

and it is shocking. But it is only shocking because this sort of horror doesn't happen very often.

On the other hand we hear of senseless killings in Iraq and Palestine and other places every day. The death tolls from suicide bombers is often much higher than the Virginia Tech killing. The victims in Iraw and other places are also iinnocent. We should be just as outraged at their deaths and the misery that is inflicted.

Unfortunately, we become desensitized to violence and there lies the real tragedy.

I have family there and my Ex-wife knows quite a few people that attend that school. I am actually moving to that exact area when I leave Qatar in September. I second Paul R's thoughts. I also know I will read a bunch of garbage on this thread but unfortunately these things happen.
